2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HV fuel consumption

26 1-1. Hybrid system
■Hybrid battery air vent
There is an air intake vent on the
package tray for the purpose of
cooling the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery). If the vent becomes
blocked, the hybrid battery may
overheat, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery output.
Emergency shut off system
The emergency shut off system bloc ks off the high voltage current
and stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel
leakage when a certain level of impa ct is detected by the impact sen-
sor. If the emergency shut off syste m activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the hybrid sy stem, contact your Toyota dealer.
Energy monitor/consumption screen
You can view the status of your
hybrid system on the multi-infor-
mation display (→P. 145) and the
navigation system screen*
( → P. 27, 29).
The following images are exam-

■Eco drive level
Average fuel consumptionThe brightness of the arcs
25 MPG or less (9.0 L/100km or more) Does not illuminate
26 to 30 MPG (8.8 to 8.0 L/100km) Illuminates weakly
31 to 35 MPG (7.8 to 7.0 L/100km) Illuminates brightly
36 MPG or more (6.8 L/100km or less) Illuminates most brightly
The brightness of the arcs around the fuel
economy meter and speedometer
change according to the eco drive level.
The higher the fuel economy, the brighter
the light becomes.

Displays the outsi de air temperature.
The temperature range that can be displayed is from
-40°F (-40 °C) to 122° F (50°C).
Displays the estimat ed maximum distance that
can be driven with the quantity of fuel remaining.
• This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a result, the actual distance
that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
Displays the average fuel consumption since the
vehicles was last refueled.
